The audition process

Submitted by Niles Bassi

A local not-for-profit youth service is calling on local young people to audition for their new play.

SMART Inclusive Group will be putting on a Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief play and are looking for locals to fill the roles.

The company is based in Loughborough, Leicestershire and are holding auditions at the Schofield Centre.

Auditions are taking place every Tuesday and Friday between 4.30pm and 7.30pm.

They are open to people aged 20 and under.

SMART Inclusive Group believes that all young people should be offered the best opportunities available to them.

People who audition will be required to prepare a song which can be in any style or genre.

This will only be performed to staff, and parents are welcome to sit in the room if this will ease anxieties.

One auditionee said: "The staff were very supportive.

"The fact they understood when I might be feeling anxious during the audition definitely helped put me at ease."

The play will take place in June, with an exact date and venue still to be confirmed.

Auditions need to be booked in advance which can be done here.
